Grand Diwali Mela
Hi, I need more time to populate the Grand Diwali Mela wikipedia page. There are a lot of details about this topic that I'd need more time to add to the page. I will not remove the speedy deletion tag. Could you please help me understand how to make a wiki page, user friendly?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shambhavi.iyer (talk • contribs) 19:03, 30 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Shambhavi.iyer, I invite you to the Tea house to ask your question. Your article don't have any reference, so you cannot say that it's by Google – you need to provide where it's said. Karlhard (talk) 19:08, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Karlhard, This is a page intended to be a neutral description about an active piece of open source software that provides value to the community and that people would want to know about. It is objective and represents a neutral point of view. I would like more time to clean this page up to be less likely to be tagged as being promotional. Please do not delete it. Could you name what aspects of this entry you see as making it promotional? I am happy to edit it as needed to make it encyclopedic and not promotional in your eyes. It is particularly confusing to me that this would be tagged as promotional since this is open source software, created voluntarily and not for monetary gain.

 * Hi Darrell, the article is being written promotional, because of the features section, trying to lead customers - even if it's not monetary. Your article must meet notability guidlines for Software - I recommend you to provide more references. If you have any other question, please feel free to ask.

 * , I did not delete it: it was indeed primarily descriptive; even if it was intended as promotion, it cannot be deleted as speedy G11. (, a features section is not necessarily promotional, unless over-extensive, and it can always be shortened or removed. However, the article will not be kept unless you add references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements. Postings by the producers of the software do not count. The purposes of an encyclopedia is to provide information about things that are already notable, not to disseminate information about things that may provide value but do not yet have substantial independent coverage.  (by the way, as Wikipedia uses "promotional", anything can be promoted--it includes more than just commercial advertising) DGG ( talk ) 21:01, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

The article had content, so, as reviewing administrator, I did not delete it. I also declined several other of your speedy nominations -- an article about a product or company cannot be deleted as promotional G11 unless Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. An article saying someone is a professor, even an associate professor, indicates plausible notability and does not qualify as A7. For all of these, deletion mist be done by PROD or AfD.

For [:Blue Box Group, Inc.]], the context is obvious: it's a company in the field of cloud computing. It also has content--an infobox is content. What it doesn't have is any indication of significance, so it would be a valid A7. I will list it as such. NoContext means that you cannot tell what the article is about. It's actually rather rare, but it can happen with people: e.g. "John is the brightest person in my school" is fairly typical of the valid uses. for Denzo Ishizaki (supercentenarian), The FuyllWiki is a WP mirror--it copies WP articles, so something that also appears there is not likely to be a copyvio.
